Water Cycle
The coastal forest water cycle is like any other water cycle but it provides it in different ways. The suns heat is
the first thing that starts the water cycle. It makes the ocean water warm which makes it start to evaporate
and when it evaporates from the ocean the salt doesnt rise with it. When it starts to bring the water up it falls on
the leaves. Then the suns heat brings the water back up again from the leaves.H2o then forms into the clouds,
but if the clouds get to much water it has to let it go. That is called precipitation. When it falls down it gets on
the trees, grass and the soil. When it gets sucked into the soil it is called infiltration. All of this helps the water
cycle of the coastal forest start all over again.
Water Cycle
Scientific name: hydrologic cycle
The water cycle is made up from evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. The earth uses the water cycle to recycle its self. The water cycle is caused by the suns heat and gravity. Evaporation is part of the water cycle it's job is to use heat steam that attaches to vapors of the air that causes to much pressure in the air that gravity pulls down the water in the sky to cause rain. Condensation is the next part of the water cycle it happens when vapors are cooled or squeeze together. Precipitation is the rain that falls to earth its caused by evaporation and condensation. The runoff part is when the rain falls onto the mountains and runoff into the water to start the cycle all over again.The coastal rainforest water cycle is different from the others because the other oceans don't have that much salt water that kind of effects the cycle.
The Water Cycle The water cycle takes six stages to complete. These are called Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, surface runoff, Infiltration, and transpiration.
EVAPORATION When evaporation happens water changes into gas and turns into water vapor. The lower pressure is what helps the evaporation happen. If you would grab a pot of water and left it on a table, it would evaporate, but it would take weeks. If you put that pot to boil it would evaporate faster. In the process of the water cycle water from the oceans, and rivers would gets heated up by the sun and it turned into gas and evaporates. When the water starts evaporating the impurities get left behind. Then finally the water that enters the atmosphere is way cleaner than the water on earth. CONDENSATION
The condensation process is just the very opposite of evaporation. When condensation happens gas gets turned into a liquid substance. Condensation also happens when the water vapors temperature gets lower. The tiny drops of water from condensation get suspended in the earths atmosphere. Then those same drops of water for clouds. They can also form fog on the earths surface
PRECIPITATION When the temperature and the pressure in the atmosphere are just right the tiny drops of water turn into big drops of water. That's when it starts raining. The water hits the bottom of the earth, gets into the atmosphere and falls into the earth again. SURFACE RUNOFF
The water that falls into the earth while it rains it races off of the lands surface. The water also runs into streams, rivers, lakes and ponds. Small streams go into bigger streams, then to rivers, and sooner or later the water goes onto the ocean. Surface Runoff is important part of the water cycle because the water from surface run off it goes into oceans where a lot of evaporation happens INFILTRATION
Infiltration is important part where the water from surface runoff soaks into the ground. Some of the water gets to go into springsnd rivers. A little bit of water stays in the ground and we call that ground water. When he water starts infiltrating the rocks in the ground clean the water. TRANSPIRATION
The last part of the cycle is transpiration. Plants absorb the water that went into the ground during infiltration. Water slides frome the bottom of the plant and goes throu the leave sand stems. When the water gets to the leaves a bit of it evaporates. It adds to the amount of water vapor. That is transpiration. In huge forests a lot of water goes up into the atmosphere. This is what happens in the coastal rain forest. My team and I think the watercycle depends on the sun becausdo most of all of the things that happen on earth. I think that the ground depends on the water cycle because if infiltration would not be part of the watercyle there would be no groundwater. The water cycle goes on and on and on.
